That's crazy. How are they keeping up with news about Trump and Musk then?

No, I'd be extremely suspicious of such person.

Some people just have hate in their hearts and they will use any physical differences to lump people together.

Being skeptical of people looking different from you used to serve a purpose in our history. It no longer does but the bias can still be found in our biology. It's not that some "just are hateful people" - it's that they're human.

I basically see it as racism every time someone is treated differently because of the color of their skin. There's racism with bad intentions and racism with good intentions but it's all still racism. In my ideal world we'd care about skin color as much as we care about hair color now. Most of the attempts to "fix" racism by paying more attention to the ethnicity of people that's been coming from the left over the past years has just maken things worse and is one of the big reasons for Trump as well.

Why is your boyfriend's dad's PC in your room (or your's in his?)

The water in a floor heating system is around 30 degrees celcius so it's not warm enough for you to necessarily be able to tell by feel. However bathroom would be the first room I'd imagine them including it on and the fact that there's a normal radiator there leads me to believe it's probably not floor heating. Ceiling heating is a thing too but quite uncommon.

I'm never on my phone at home except for when sitting on the toilet. 99% of my internet use is either YouTube, Porn or Lemmy and all three are done better on a desktop/laptop. My phone is for podcasts, texting/calls and photography.

Google and Apple are US companies though. I'm not aware of any international organizations simply just accepting the new name like that and I doubt the people in Mexico for example will start calling it that either. It seems like people are making out this to be a bigger issue than it is. Anyone is free to keep calling it the Gulf of Mexico either. I still call Facebook, Twitter and Turkey by their original names too and I've yet to encounter a single person not understanding what I'm talking about.

Well, it's a problem that will solve itself. Most estimates say that the world's popularion will peak around 2080 and start to decline after that.

I really struggle to understand this kind of suicidality where you want to take a bunch of innocent people with you.

What's the problem with calling it Gulf of America? To me that just seems like an objectively better name. You guys do realise that Mexico is in America too, right?

Content filters are your friend here. It's the only way of making social media barely tolerable. You just need to keep updating it constantly as next week there's going to be a new "existential crisis" that nobody can shut up about.
